Ponyshock: "Pony Party Platoon"

Starry glanced over at the locker, blocked by the two metal rods and other junk. "Why hasn't anypony tried to get to this locker yet?" she asked.

The two metal rods looked suspicious, but Stock Option had told them there were supplies in the chest. Starry wasn't about to risk electrocuting herself, and there were certainly more expendable ponies on the team. Starry took a glance over at Twisted... Considering Starry's current state of mind, there was only one logical option available.

"Twist, Scrap, Techno, help me out here. You too," she pointed a hoof at Sparks Facade, "Wow, we have a lot of unicorns here," Starry commented. "Anyway, all of you, use your magic to try and help me move this rubble.

Starry's horn began to glow, as she tried to telekinetically move the debris. There was no logical sense in risking a pony getting shocked when they could just glow it up and avoid taking the chance.

Scrap added his magic to the other two unicorns lifting the rubble. He stayed back a bit though-he didn't like the look of the metal rods. Hopefully the combined magic would get the locker out rather easily.

Sparks wasn't a fan of such brute force uses of his magic, losing most if his horn and having to relearn how to do coordinate his magic might hve had a little to do it it though.

"Respectfully Miss Night, I much rather keep watch with my scout eyes, I'm not that strong of a telekenesis user." he said bashfully as he took of his blood soaked hat to reveal a stub of a horn that had been mostly sawed off.

[casting scout eyes on where ever it would be appropiate, such as down a hallway or on the otherwise of the door][Perception 9: (unless wearing a hat helps, then 10]

Hot confetti shot at him, sticking to his coat and barding due to the blood, guts, and other such unidentifyable fluids being there before. But worse, the hot, brightly colored paper got in his eyes. He let out a loud cry of pain and fell to the ground, partially from the blast, and partially from the pain.

"Somepony shoot the damn thing!" Atriark yelled, trying to get the hot confetti from his different colored eyes. "Fraking hell, it burns!"

Sky laughed at the zebra for getting pelted with confetti, A machine like that. A floating head? This is to much to say already, who would build it. But Sky didn't think that now, She was to busy snickering to do anything.

"Awww, i knida like it. Not everyday you see a floating head, shooting confetti." Sky said as she made her way to the locker, to get a good look at the contents. two .357's, two Machetes, four health potions, and two hydras. Sky looked over to one item that caught her attention, the Machetes. She slready had a pistol and a shotgun, so something up close and personal should do fine. She grabbed one of the machetes and placed it with the rest of her belongings, leaving the rest to the team. And she did grab a hydra also, never know when that might come in handy.

Twisted looked in the locker and levitated a Machete out of the locker and looked at it carefully, "I believe I could make some use of this, and I think who ever our medic is should take all the chems there. The rest of the items should be given out accordingly, I just request this for personal defense should the need arise" She said sliding it into a blade holder in her armor.

Starry was startled by the pinkie-bot when it leaped out of the rubble, but she couldn't help but laugh as it began peppering Atriark with confetti. 'It's a robot!' she told herself, 'An actual working, friendly robot! Well... friendly to ponies, anyway.'

Starry could feel her mood lifting, and her mane puffing back up. The rational parts of her brain were giving way to the sheer joy and excitement at having uncovered a robot. And this one seemed to like parties!

Walking over and noticing the contents of the footlocker, Nova picked up one of the .357s.

"If nobody else needs this, then I guess I'll take it." She stated. "As for the robot, I think that it could be useful, just so long as we keep it away from Atriark. Besides, it might brighten up this gloomy place."

"Damn you all." Atriark said, still blinded by the confetti. "This isn't funny."

Why were his entire group just standing around? Was the pink flying antagonizer more important than a zebra in obvious pain?

"You alright?" Sparks asked.

"It burns like hell, but I just need to get this out of my eyes," the zebra said, fumbling inside his saddle bags for his canteen. "Yes, let's just leave the zebra screaming while you fawn over a shitty robot." Atriark spat angrily to everypony but Sparks Facade.

The sudden appearence of the floating Pinkie bot startled Scrap when it first appeared. Being fascinated by all things mechanical and robots especially; his response to the robot was almost as enthusiastic as Starry although he didn't vocalize his excitement.

Unfortunately for his excitement he neglected to notice Ark's screaming untill a bit later then some of the others. When he finally noticed he apologized to Ark

"Sorry Ark...got a bit caught up in the excitement of finding a semi-friendly robot...are you okay?"

Twisted Vision pondered the question "I see no issues with it so long as it does not become a liability. Who know, it may make us seem friendly to some creatures, or even scare them off." She said turning to Atriark "Also, it may hurt but I think that Confetti is not something to worry about in the end." She said simply before using her magic to place his water bottle into his hooves. "There you are Atriark, I hope that helps" She said before walking off to look at the door. She was a little worried as too what was behind it.

Twisted Vision looked down at Nova, not in a degrading way and smiled "Yes, I believe I can save this potion for later, and someone actually needs it" She said rolling her shoulder a couple times. It hurt but it was not encumbering to her. She then looked at Nova and laughed a little "If you want, I can reset your nose" She said smiling "As our Zebra friend just mentioned, it will do no good running around with a broken nose" She said smiling.

Twisted Vision's horn started to glow, as the telekinetic force wrapped itself around the bone in her nose, and quickly popped it back into place. She quickly removed the forces and her horn started to diminish. "I apologize if that hurt, setting noses is not exactly a graceful action" She laughed a little.

"So I have a question for you... If you believe in no god and you have no one to look up too, who do you go to when something is out of your control? I have met ponies that believe that there is nothing watching over us and if anything goes wrong it is there fault, and I just do not wish you to meet a similar end as them. If you do not wish to talk about it that is fine" She said looking a little embarrassed "I am just curious is all" she said chuckling nervously.

"Ouch!" Nova yelped as her nose was put back in it's proper place."Thank you."

Nova then heard Twisted's question, struggling to find an answer.

Huh, who do I go to? I've never really thought about it. Nova concluded.

"No, it's fine to ask that. I think the truth is that I really tend not to think about it all too much. Honestly, I have no idea what I should, or even do, believe in." Nova answered, trying to be as helpful as possible. "Sorry if that seems a little odd."

Twisted Vision nodded a your welcome to Novas thank you, but then looked at her funnily. "Hmm, well the position of a god it to teach you who or what to blame for short comings in life. So if one of those things came through this door, who would you blame?" She asked "Would it be it's fault for killing me, my fault for standing here, your fault for not saving me, the goddesses fault for making it so, or nothings fault cause you had no control?" She asked. "Please understand it is in my nature to find out how other peoples beliefs work, so as I can truly understand how they go about there lives. I do not mean that as if I am judging you however... And I... I'll just stop trying to make that statement work now" She said blushing wildly from her fumble. She did not usually fumble that badly when talking about learning.

Ok, definitely an unusual question. But this I can answer easily. Nova hoped.

"Well, if a god of some kind were to come in here and kill someone, I wouldn't like it, but that doesn't mean I'd blame anyone. The god would obviously possess powers far too great to imagine, so therefore stopping it would be impossible. And also, as a god, it is likely to possess a higher level of understanding of reality, and that means that their actions are likely to be necessary in some way." Nova responded, taking a deep breath after finishing, seeming a little flustered.

Twisted Vision thought for a moment and smiled. She liked this girls mind, it was faster than most. "Hmm, but would that not be totalitarian? Does that not make you think that anything you do in life is actually your doing? any choice you make is actually your choice? If a higher being chooses who lives and dies, then what stops them from choosing who thinks what, and who thinks what?" She asked smiling smugly. She could already tell she was going to enjoy this.
